The Confluence instance has it's deployment descriptor and additional configuration handled by the Tomcat instance.

The files /etc/tomcat6/server.xml and /etc/tomcat6/Catalina/localhost/confluence.xml both contain the context path for the app.

This context path is set to the application root for the URL and is represented as "" because Tomcat has issues parsing the value "/" via the config.
